Carpenter ants can be found across the Durham Region. These ants can cause significant damage to one`s home or garage. Unlike termites that eat wood, carpenter ants damage wood and live within it. Their diet, like most ants, is the same in that if food is left unattended, it is not unlikely that carpenter ants will feed off of it.

Carpenter ants make very distinct damage casings to wood. When examined, holes will appear in the wood with a linear pattern. These holes are where potential eggs and nests may develop. In severe infestations, noises coming from walls or door frames can be heard. These are likely noises that resembling chewing and gnawing from the ants themselves. Carpenter ants have several nests, or colonies, throughout a home and outside a dwelling as well.

Queen`s are rather large in shape and can be distinguished from the other ants in the colony. Carpenter ants vary in size but all are black in colour. One may be able to tell they have a carpenter ant problem by a number of ways. Noticing saw dust along floor boards or window frames may be one indication that carpenter ants are to blame.

Another indicator that carpenter ants may be in your home is actually seeing them inside your house. Although seeing one carpenter ant may be within tolerable limits, it is not uncommon for some houses to see up to twenty a day. These usually take place in the kitchen and bathroom areas as carpenter ants tend to move toward moist areas.

A third indicator of a carpenter ant problem will be the presence of flying ants outside in the spring. In addition to carpenter ants, Pest Pro Canada treats a variety of other species. These include pharaoh ants, honey ants, and all of forms of household and outdoor ants.
